- Curator's comments
- Portrait of Marat after a design which was frequently reproduced; it is attributed to Desrais in the IFF (Bonneville, cat. No.93; also see De Vinck cat. No. 5266) although other plates name Bonneville as the designer (see 1901,1022.579 and 1898,0527.48). Chevremont refers to the design as by Bonneville.
A reuse of a plate, most likely a portrait after C. N. Cochin, originally engraved in 1750 (see faint inscription in lower margin).
